Rainbow Scrap Challenge

-

I am so glad for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge it makes it easy to decided what color to do and to sit down pick out that color and get it done! Great idea Angela @ So Scrappy! Thank you for reminding me each month how much I want to make a rainbow.

I have wanted a rainbow quilt since I started quilting and was determined this year I would make one! I know I am suppose to use scraps but I have accumulated quite a few mini charms in every color. I made 16 patch blocks for pink and blue. Last month I kept forgetting to link up so today I have both January and February's blocks to share.

February Blocks - Pink

January Blocks - Blue

Thank you for stopping by and looking at my blocks for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge! I just love seeing those little 2 1/2" blocks in quilts. Why not join me! It is free and fun!

Create and be unique,
Lisa

    Very nice! I like the shading effect - that will look spectacular once you start putting the blocks together.

    Love how the color goes from light to dark. Do you have a planned setting for these? I think I need to go make some 16 patches now too!

    I agree RSC is a different way to look at scraps. I have one more block to make and I am ready for the next color.

    I am not a scrappy quilter person as I think they just look to busy and cluttered, but your idea for making a block a month of same color shades to make the rainbow...sounds like a great idea to get scraps used and to get more comfortable with scrap quilting! I am going to follow your lead... I have to go back and do one for Jan and now one for Feb..but..I look forward to it! Thanks for the idea!

    Everyone has their own definition of scraps. In the end it is whatever works for you. Glad you were able to make such pretty blocks.

Update This Giveaway is closed! And the winner is ... #105 gpc March 5, 2014 at 12:13 PM I follow your blog! :) Think Ruffles Blog Hop Welcome to "In The Boon Docks" and Day 1 of the "Think Ruffles Blog Hop"! My name is Lisa and I am so happy you are here today to see my quilt with ruffles! I have to thank Madam Samm @ Sew We Quilt and Amy (Head Cheerleader)@ Sew Incredibly Crazy for arranging this great hop! What is a ruffle? There are lots of different kinds and Madam Samm left it open to interpretation. She showed us how to make some and at the time I was thinking; ruffled bloomers, ruffled dresses, ruffled pillows. Then I saw a quilt in a magazine with what looked like ruffles! I kind of browsed through the issue of Quilt-it today , March/April 2014 issue and left it in my rocking chair and went to work. The second time I read the "Garden Path" pattern by Ann Baxter, (I had already made the quilt), it read "ruching", you don'
